[DeTomaso] Speedometer

[Mike Drew]

Also, it is easier to reach the nuts holding the speedo in by knelling on the ground and reaching in with your left hand.

Of course the easiest way is to have somebody else do it! Kids are especially adept at things like this and their smaller hands make it easier. Wives or girlfriends will do in a pinch!
